I would not say that this store, whose name means "The Queen", is as large as a castle, but it is certainly one of the largest in Chile, offering the customer plenty of seating choices indoors, upstairs, and also both indoor and outdoor patios.

Hmm... can I say this store has three floors? Well, not really, because the "second" floor is just really a half-story up, and it is not really a whole floor. It's more like the ground floor is split-level.

Of the first 31 stores in Chile, this might be the worst, from the perspective of not getting caught by security for attempting to photograph it. The guard standing on a platform outside the store this particular day did not say anything, but my visit could just as easily have turned into a difficult experience.

Excluding the mall stores, this is the most American of the stores I saw in Chile, especially because of its sharing of the building with the gas station, something I have rarely seen outside of North America.

This store, the first outside of Santiago and built in a former house, preserves a bit of a homey feel and sports a decor a cut above that of your usual Starbucks. The store has a second story, of course, and a marbled stone staircase that adds an unusual touch. Also made of stone are the smaller tables. Upstairs there is an outdoor terrace, perhaps one of the few places in a Starbucks anywhere where you will find smoking (though I'm not sure it was technically allowed). Regrettably, the store is too far from the beach, about a quarter mile, to offer a seaside view.
